Compactifications of Symmetric and Locally Symmetric Spaces

by Armand Borel and Lizhen Ji

Published 8 December 2005

Introduces uniform constructions of most of the known compactifications of symmetric and locally symmetric spaces, with emphasis on their geometric and topological structures

Relatively self-contained reference aimed at graduate students and research mathematicians interested in the applications of Lie theory and representation theory to analysis, number theory, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology
